Southern California's Family Destination and Event Guide

Carlsbad

We love Halloween and look forward to our traditions as a family. One of our favorite Halloween traditions is heading to Legoland California’s Brick-or-Treat nights. This separate ticketed event is held every Saturday in October from 5pm to 9pm.

The home of Halloween fun is filled with…

Live entertainment + new shows!

Character Meet and Greets

Costume Contest: Group, Heroes and Villians, and LEGO®

Treat stations with more than 1 million pieces of candy and Clif Kid Treats*

Heartlake City Fall Festival with Pumpkin Patch Build and craft time with the LEGO Friends

We shared two weeks ago about our fantastic time at the LEGOLAND Hotel. We had a fantastic time, and we are counting down until we can head there again. Tonight I wanted to share about our dining experience at the Bricks Lego Family Restaurant. If you have a special event coming up, perhaps your kiddo’s birthday, or you are heading to LEGOLAND and you would like to take the kiddos to a fun place after hitting the park, you have to take your family to the Bricks Family Restaurant.

The theming is found in every corner of this super fun restaurant!

Don’t expect a stuffy atmosphere or someone giving you the eye when the kiddos get a little rowdy, anything goes in this fun family atmosphere! As you sit and color in your very own table cover, you are surrounded by giant LEGO kitchen equipment, enormous LEGO dishes of foods and even LEGO spinning plates.

The food was so yummie, and the kiddos ate every last bite! Win, Win!

Not only was it a very fun experience, the food was absolutely delish! The restaurant and menu has been created with children in mind so there’s a wide range of buffet options to suit every taste and age group! My kiddos loved trying many of the options, including the different salads. We were extremely pleased!!

Meeting some of the fun LEGO characters!

The food is yummie, the atmosphere is relaxed, and best of all, the kiddos can meet some of their favorite LEGO characters! We loved every bit of our dining experience and can’t wait to do it again! It was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! If you would like to learn about the Bricks Family Restaurant, make sure to head here. You’re going to LOVE it!

Disclosure: This is not a compensated post. A complementary meal was provided for review purposes, however all opinions are my own and I absolutely LOVED our experience!

We love the Legoland Resort, and as members, have enjoyed watching the hotel be built from the ground up. We were more than excited when we received an invite to check out the LEGOLAND Hotel two days before the hotel opened its doors tot he public. We were in for quite the treat!

Fun from the moment you walk in!

From the moment you walk in, you are in for a treat! You can check-in and let the kiddos have fun playing on a pirate ship or climbing up a castle. The kids did not want to move from the lobby! Here is the scoop on this amazing hotel, it is a must visit and stay for families and here is why:

The three story, 250-room hotel is located right at the main entrance to LEGOLAND park. Guests at the hotel will enjoy exclusive early morning access to the theme park. I wish I could accurately describe the attention to detail at the hotel. Everywhere you turn, there is something fun for the kiddos and there is attention to details in every inch of the hotel. There are more than 3,500 LEGO models in the entire hotel.

I’m not a fan of elevators, but the elevators at the hotel are not to be missed. The Disco elevators are set to fun seventies music as a mirror ball rotates. I’m telling you, every inch of the hotel is FUN!

Now on to the rooms! Ahhhhhmazing I tell ya!

The rooms were amazing and we had to drag the kids out of there!

You can choose from one of three themed rooms: Pirate, Adventure, or Kingdom. We choose the Pirate Room and it was a huge hit with the kiddos. Every single room, has a separate sleeping area for up to three children complete with bunk beds, a trundle bed and their own tv.

It was so nice to have the kiddos sleep in their own room and the adults have their own room. Plus how many hotel rooms can comfortably accommodate more than a family of four? Not many, but the LEGOLAND hotel, certainly does! Every room also includes a treasure chest that your kiddos can unlock once they complete a special treasure hunt activity finding clues throughout the room. I am completely honest, when I say the kiddos did not want to leave!

There is so much to share and I honestly can’t fit it all in one post. I will share in a second post about the activities, the restaurants, and all the new LEGOLAND hotel has to offer. Stay tuned!

Disclosure: This is not a compensated post. We received a complimentary night stay to check out the resort, however, I would stay again in a heartbeat! We plan on staying in June to help celebrate my daughter’s birthday and can’t wait!
